\NVENTOR gal/glasses PROCTOR P. COOLEY, 0F PEORIA, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO CULTER 82 PROG'IOB STOVE CO,

OF PEORIA, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS. v

STOVE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be itknown that I, Pnoo'ron P. CooLnY, a

citizen of the United States, a resident-of stoves and has for its object the. provision of a stove having an upper and lower oven in which roasting and baking may be carried on at the same time, the flue system being so arranged as to obtain maximum efficiency.

A further object is the provision of a ventilating oven whereby the temperature thereof may be regulated, as desired.

A further object is the provision of permanent ash chutes in the ash-pit so that all of the ashes are discharged into the ashpan.

A further object is the improvement in various details and construction, making a stove constructed according to my invention, a desirable and useful article in the household.

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and such other objects as may hereinafter appear, my invention consists in the combination, construction and arrangement of,

parts hereinafter described, and then sought to be defined in the appended claim, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, and which shows merely for the purpose of illustrative disclosure, a preferred embodiment of my invention, it being understood that various changes may be made in practice within the scope of the claim, without digressing from my inventive idea.

In the drawings:-

Figure 1 represents a vertical transverse section taken on the line 11 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section taken substantially on the line 22 of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section taken substantially on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2;

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a detail.

Referring now to the drawings, in which Figs. 1 to 3 represent one form of my invention, the numeral 1 designates the firepot of the stove, 2 the ash-pit, 3 the top, 4:1 the upper oven and 5 the lower oven. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

rear wall 6 of both ovens is practically oou.

tinuous, being spaced from the rear wall 7 of the stove to provide a downward continuation 8 of the flue 9. The bottom member 9 of the lower oven is spaced from the bottom of the stove 10 to provide a horizontal flue 11, and the front wall or member 12 of said lower oven 5 is spaced fromthe inner wall of the ash-pit 2 so as to provide the upwardly extending fine 12''. This flue communicates with the fine 18, provided by the bottom member 14 of upper oven 1 and top member 115 of lower oven5, which are spaced apart as shown, The hood 16 communicates with this flue 18 atthe rear of the stove and is adapted to receive the ordinary stove-pipe, not shown. The baffle-plate 17 is shown eX- tending diagonally across said flue 13 so as to cause the products of combustion to circulate between the two ovens and not to be discharged directly into the chimney. In this construction, the products of combustion pass over and behind the upper oven and then practically all around the lower oven, finally passing beneath the upper oven until discl arged. It is therefore seen that both the upper and lower ovens are subject to heat on all sides, so that baking and roasting may be carried on at the same time in both ovens.

Other objects of my invention include an improved means of ventilating one of the ovens, particularly the upper oven. The rear wall. of the upper oven is perforated as at 25, over which perforations is placed the hood or guard 26. This prevents soot from being forced down into the oven. A suitably controlled opening is provided in the front door, whereby the admission of air may be regulated. It is therefore seen that cool air may be admitted to the oven, as desired so as to properly regulate the temperature therein. The plurality of integral projections 28 in the top of the upper oven provide means for retarding the radiation of the heat so as to prevent burning of the material in the oven, and tending to provide a more uniform distribution of the heat.

I also provide an important improvement in stoves, in the permanent ash chutes, which are formed by providing the inwardly inclined portions 28 in the side of the stove, the side of the oven and the end of the stove and the door, so that ashes dropping from the grate, will be discharged directly :into

the ash-pan 29 and not fall between the ashvided, on the front of the stove so that it may be supplied with fuel from the front instead of from the side, as is usual. Cleanout openings are provided so that the fines I 1 maybe readily cleaned.

It is seen therefore, that a stove 0on structed according to my invention, includes many details of practical value, the principal one being the circulation of the products of combustion about both ovens'so to utili'ze the heat .of the products of combustion to a maximum "degree.

There is no necessity of using an additional heater or heating element 'of any sort to obtain the requisite degree of temperature in both ovens, the arrangement offi-ues being such that the 'lOWQI' oven is heated sufliciently.

Any soot that may be forced through the apertures will collect in the guard :26 and will not pass into the oven to spoil or injure any of the contents thereof. The ventilating feature provides means whereby the overheating of the oven may be prevented and terrupted vertical flue on the opposite side, a

pair of intervening, vertically spaced ovens, the upper oven being next to the fire box and spaced from the top of the stove to provide a connecting passage between said flue and fire-box, the lower oven being spaced from the ash-pit and the bottom of the stove to provide a connecting passage between the flue and the space between the ovens, the ovens being connected adjacent the flue to cause the heated gases to pass around the lower oven before coming into contact with the under side of the upper oven, and an outlet for the space between the ovens.
